“The king killed his brother, who was actually king, so that he could be king. Then the dead king’s wife and baby disappeared, on account the baby would’ve been king, so the brother probably killed them, too. They do that kind of thing all the time, kings do. They can kill anybody they don’t like.”
― quote from Jinx

― Lisa McMann, quote from Island of Silence

“And I stand in the hallway, alone, grinning like an idiot.”
― Veronica Roth, quote from Four: A Divergent Collection
“- O Kane está preocupado com ela - disse Rowena - mas o homem está preocupado por ela.
- Há fogo entre eles - Pitte virou a cabeça e roçou os lábios no cabelo de Rowena - Ele devia levá-la para a cama e deixar esse fogo selar velhas feridas.
- Tão típico de um macho, pensar que a cama é sempre a resposta. (...) O fogo nao basta - Ela abriu os braços e dezenas de velas acenderam-se - É o calor, meu amor, meu único amor, que cura um coração ferido.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Key of Knowledge
“The reason that he knew so much about everything, I found, was that wherever he went he got right in with the people ”
― Edmund Morris, quote from The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt

House HarkonnenBookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
